"Breaking Night" by Liz Murray

Beautifully written memoir of Liz and her life on the streets of NYC. Growing up with her sister Lisa and their drug-addicted parents, Liz overcomes her homelessness to finish high school and attend Harvard University. An excellent read.

Erica, haven't seen many posts from you lately. What are you reading these days?

You read too fast for me Leah!! I have just finished Graceling (loved it) and have Cutting for Stone waiting for me tonight. I also recently read The Help (had to purchase as lib did not have) and Midwives (also loved!). I think I fit maybe one other book in there...I will post it now!!
Have you heard of Shelfari? It's a virtual bookshelf. I have signed up, but haven't used it much. It's like social networking for books.
